ACGR Webinar 2/2024 - Creating and Sustaining a HDR Supervisor Community of Practice at the University of Adelaide

The Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Supervision Community of Practice (CoP) – also known as the ‘HDR CoP’ is a community of academic, research and professional staff

who are engaged in the supervision of research students at MPhil or PhD level at the University of Adelaide.

By nature of a Community of Practice, our goal is to be an inclusive, supportive environment in which to share experiences of supervision. Our members include supervisors and

HDRs beginning their journey, those who are more experienced and the professional staff that support the journey. The HDR CoP offers a forum to share the experience of and the

approach to supervision as well as a platform to provide resources. Our aim is to provide a support network for supervisors wishing to develop innovative methods of supervision and develop leadership in supervision for the benefit of the wider university community.

Presented by Associate Professor Tania Crotti of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Adelaide this webinar will discuss the successes and insights gleaned from the Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Supervision Community of Practice (CoP), outlining how this model works at the University of Adelaide and how the CoP is contributing to raising the quality of supervision across the university.
